"Witty, scary, fast-moving and outrageous" - MARCEL BERLIN, THE TIMES

"Simon Kernick is one of the most reliable purveyors of the edge-of-your-seat thriller... a more powerful adrenaline rush than an EpiPen" - JAKE KERRIDGE, SUNDAY EXPRESS

WE HAVE YOUR DAUGHTER.

WE KNOW YOUR SECRETS.
WE CAN SEE YOU.

The new high-octane thriller from Sunday Times bestselling author Simon Kernick

________________________

You have it all. Success, a beautiful home, a happy family.

Until, in a heartbeat, it's gone.

We've kidnapped your daughter, and we know everything about you. Including the dark secrets from your past you thought were forgotten.

We tell you not to contact the police – and that we’ll know if you do. Because we can see you.

And now you know this is no ordinary abduction. It’s worse. Within hours you’re on the run, with only one thought in your head:

That you will stop at nothing to get your daughter back.

Even murder...

This stand-alone book from Simon Kernick takes his work in a somewhat new direction from his tried and trusted genre. The book begins with every parent's worst nightmare; Your child has been taken, do not call the police, we are watching everything you do ... "We Can See You!" A thrilling read/listen from start to finish with twists and turns throughout heading towards an incredible conclusion that I guarantee you will never see coming in a million years! Thought provoking and an intriguing character depth makes this book a must. Great work.

Thrilling from start to finish. Amazing work.

I Think I have read all or at least most of Simon Kernick’s books and usually love them. This one however was not up to his usual standard. It is not set in the UK but in America and is reminiscent of a Harlan Coben novel and not a particularly good one. I hope this is a one off and he goes back to writing about english crime with some of my favourites like Tina Boyd. It’s ok but disappointing if you were expecting his usual crime/thriller page turners.

Disappointing.
